It is that time of the year again and the Mississauga Football League is ready to take to the field! For over 40 seasons the Mississauga Football League has provided football programs for the youth of Mississauga.
But before they get on that field they are out in the community having a blast. So, we ask you what do Elmo, Spider-Man, Darth Vader and Strawberry Shortcake have in common with the Argos? They are among the fabulous prizes you can win during the MFL In-Person registration at Fee Fi Fo Fun on Saturday, May 5th from 2:00pm - 5:00 pm. Fe Fi Fo Fun is hosting this "Q & A" event where parents and future players can drop by with their questions, register to play and have a chance to win a few great prizes and giveaways. Fee Fi Fo Fun offers a year around selection of unique Birthday Gifts and Costume Wear and is located at 1842 Lakeshore Rd. W., 2 lights east of Southdown Road in Clarkson.
The Mississauga Football League is so excited about this coming season. Their recent addition of Flag Football for ages 7 - 12 is growing tremendously. Tackle Football, of course, is still the heart of their organization; for ages 9 - 17, equipment is supplied and no experience is needed.
The one point when talking to the MFL volunteers or players that always comes across loud and clear is that; "There is a place for everyone on their field!". After over 40 years on the field the MFL know football!

It seems like just a few weeks ago that players and fans of the Mississauga Football League took to the field for the 40th Season Championship Games at Gilbert Field, Mississauga Valleys Community Centre for a great day of football. For the many volunteers of the Mississauga Football League the season never really ends. Registration for the 2011 Season is already open with some great new programs being offered to our future CFL'ers!
This season the Mississauga Football League is expanding with Flag Football for the younger players. According to Jack Finley, President: "Full Tackle Football in the fall remains the focus of our program as it has for the past 40 Season but there have been many requests to get younger kids on the field. Flag football starting at 7 years of age will help them develop a feel for the game and the skills that they can carry through to our tackle program."
A Spring/Summer Flag program will be offered to the youth of Mississauga, ages 7 - 10 for $150. As well, Flag will be offered for 7 - 8 year olds in the fall along side the long standing tackle program for 9 - 17 year olds. Equipment is supplied by the league and no experience is necessary.
The Mississauga Football League is affiliated with the City of Mississauga Recreation and Parks Services. For more information on their programs visit www.M-F-L.ca or call 416-821-0132.
The Mississauga Football League is headed towards another great season.
This fall the Mississauga Football League will take to the field for its 40th season.
Founded in 1971 by former Toronto Argonaut (1965-1972) Peter Martin and three others, the MFL offers full tackle football for youth from 9 to 17. Equipment is loaned to the players and no experience is required.
The league recently held their 40th Season Celebration at Crabby Joe's Steak House & Grill. The evening was attended by three of the four founding members, Adam Rita - GM of Football Operations for the Toronto Argos, Mayor Hazel McCallion and Andre Durie - a slot back with the Argos whose first coach was the current President of the MFL Mr. Jack Finley.
The cost for fall football with the MFL is $250 with practice starting in early August. The season runs until mid-November.
Players may register online at www.m-f-l.ca or at any of our in-person registration events -- listed on the MFL Web site.
